"Hey Justin", Parker asked his overbite friend. "I got a question"

Justin looked at himself in the mirror of the locker rooms in the gym. "Yeah?"

"You ever been with a girl?"

Justin squinted his eyes in the mirror. "Why...?"

"Huh?"

"Why would you ask me that?"

"I just wanted to know if you had a girlfriend or not, is all", said a bright red Parker. Being as pale as he was, he reminded Justin of a mime.

"A few", he said. "If you don't get one, it isn't a big loss"

"I've never had a girlfriend, I don't think girls like me or maybe I'm not into girls, ya know?"

"Ah... Parker... are you having girl troubles?", he teased.

"Yeah", replied Parker.

The grin on Justin's face faded, "what's wrong?"

"Nothing really... I mean...", he cut himself off and looked at Justin. "You think I'm... weird?"

"To be blunt, yes"

"Justin!"

"Parker! Your Weird!"

"How...", he asked softly. Justin rolled his eyes and sat next to him on the bench. "Lets start with that gnome, you talk to it"

"He's my friend"

"It's... a He?"

"Yeah, why is that a surprise?"

Justin blinked his eyes. "You talk to it like its a girl!"

"Oh... yeah...", he rubbed the back of his head. "It's not what you think"

"What do I think? I already said your weird", he said.

"Justin!", he got up and paced the locker room.

Justin wondered, he probably was being a bit harsh calling him weird. "What's with you?

"A girl asked me out!", he said, stunned himself by it. "A girl!"

"Do you not like girls Parker?"

"I-I-I", he stammered. "I do, she's pretty-I mean- Look at me! What could one see in this", he pulled his shirt. "This isn't attractive!"

Justin shrugged. "I'm an ugly duckling too"

"No you aren't! Girls talk about your cute over bite and laugh at your ridiculous egg puns"

"Not my fault", said Justin.

Parker was really frustrated cause he didn't know a single thing on the opposite gender. He worried, like what if she wanted a kiss? He doubted it but WHAT IF. How to use tongue? When do you slide it in? What if she does? Do you bite it?

These thoughts made him blush which Justin obviously saw. He chuckled slightly at him, "You don't know how girls work do you?"

"No?"

"How about a practice session?", he said with brow arched and a smirk.

"Justin... what are you suggesting?", he said nervously.

"Oh nothing bad, maybe since the Gnome is a "boy", you might ease with a boy", he said

Parker blushed madly again. "You aren't thinking-"

"Maybe?"

"I couldn't make out with my gnome" said Parker.

Justin wanted to slap himself. "Not... the gnome Parker"

"Then who? Pinky?"

"No", he pinched his nose. "It's cute how dumb you are"

"Wait... cute?" That word was unbelievable to hear. "Justin you called me cute"

"Yeah"

"Thanks...", he said shyly.

Justin got up and walked towards him. He pushed him up against the wall leaving Parker confused. He lifted his chin up and pressed his lips against him gently.

It was indeed an odd feeling, he wasn't kissing his gnome, he was kissing a guy. It was confusing.

"There's your practice", he said as he pulled apart. Justin was ready to walked out until, "Hey, justin..."

He looked over his shoulder. "How about a longer one? For practice".
